I didn't think I'd ever subscribe to a music streaming service, but Apple Music managed to win me over.

Apple finally realizes the value of small too. And that makes the upgrade choices even more difficult.
If you want to skip right to the review, click here, as I’d like to start with a bit of the story on how my current laptop came to be. I’m often asked why I use a Mac, especially considering my first computer from 1996 was a PC – one […]
After years of insisting on a desktop app to read my email over a web app, that’s finally changing. When I was still running Windows, I switched back and forth between Outlook and Windows Live Mail (yes, it’s been that long since I ran Windows regularly). When I switched to a […]
Note: This post is for an assignment here at Drexel. You’re welcome to read it, but it’s a departure from the usual programming. My first encounter with IRC likely dates back to around 2005 when I was active on a forum I’ve since left. 2007 is when it became one […]
One of the hardest questions I’ve ever been asked was one asked on the first day of class for my Human-Computer Interaction class at Drexel. That question is the title of this post, “What makes good design ‘good design’?” It was very interesting hearing people’s answers: in general, the hands […]
A couple of months ago, after many months of waiting, I finally received a package that was rather special to me. About a year ago, I backed one of my first Kickstarter projects, the Geode from iCache. That special package contained mine, which I had been eagerly awaiting as what […]
This is a post I thought I wouldn’t be writing for a very long time, if ever. A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to visit the Microsoft Store in Freehold Raceway Mall, Freehold, NJ that I wrote about before. I can’t believe I’m saying this but Microsoft, […]
While my business card (one of them anyway) does proudly state “Apple Fanboy”, I admit I was excited by a little surprise I got over the weekend while at the Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, NJ. At first, I honestly thought it was an advertisement, cleverly painted over a store […]
As the final hours of 2011 slowly tick away, I thought I’d try to recap 2011 as it happened for me. Believe me, that’s pretty tough to do. Sure, there are a few highlights I can [vaguely] recall, but with twelve months, there’s got to be more than three or […]
In the event you were not aware, Apple is accepting “thoughts, memories, and condolences” about the loss of Steve Jobs from anyone: fans, friends, Apple employees, literally, anyone. If you read last night’s update, you’ve already seen this first part, but I thought I’d share the email I sent in. […]
As you have likely heard by now, moments ago Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, passed away. I never had the honor of meeting him personally. I’ve never even seen him in person. But despite that, I considered Steve Jobs a mentor – the greatest mentor I was never able to […]
Earlier this week, on Twitter I mentioned I was planning on talking about one of the greatest lessons I’ve ever learned in life. This is a story I’ve told before, but only to a very small number of people, and usually not in much detail. My idea to write about this […]
